Teledyne LeCroy STX M6-1 SAS_SATA Protocol Analyzer Quick Start Manual - Manual

Introduction
The STX M6-1 SAS/SATA Protocol Analyzer is a portable
single-port system that can function as a protocol analyzer
or as an error injector. The SAS analyzer software
performs serial bus analysis for Serial Attached SCSI
(SAS) data transfers, as well as Serial ATA (SATA) data
transfers through STP data transfers. The SATA analyzer
software performs serial bus analysis for Serial ATA
(SATA) data transfers.
The Analyzer can operate at 1.5, 3, or 6 Gb/s data rates
and has 2 GB or 4 GB of recording memory.
The Analyzer supports capture, triggering, and filtering of
Serial Attached SCSI packets or Serial ATA packets. The
Analyzer provides for bi-directional trigger and capture of
commands, primitives, patterns and all bus conditions. You
can capture all frames and/or exclude traffic. You can
trigger manually or trigger on a specific event.
Please see the Readme file on the installation CD for the
latest information on PC requirements.
The STX M6-1 Analyzer has a USB port and a GbE
Ethernet port to connect to a PC, which serves as the host
for analysis or error injection software. The versatile GbE
port can be used for either local or remote network
connectivity.
STX M6-1 Analyzers can be linked together in cascaded
configurations to provide additional recording channel
capacity, or used in tandem to combine simultaneous error
injection and trace capture/analysis capabilities (requires
two STX M6-1 units, one protocol analyzer model and one
error injector model).
The STX M6-1 Analyzer provides a full range of views and
statistical reports. Statistical reports provide event and error
counters, as well as performance metrics, that give users a
snapshot into capture.
The InFusion™ Error Injector and Traffic Modifier is an
error injector and traffic modification tool that allows you to
verify real-world fault handling.
